What we can do about the divisiveness of social media. With author Douglas Bursch.
Social media is a valuable communication tool, but it’s also a magnet for anger and division. Foursquare pastor and former radio host Douglas Bursch has agreed to join us April 27 to discuss this timely topic, providing a spiritual examination of why social media divides people and how Christians can address polarization through a ministry of peacemaking.
Douglas Bursch is the author of Posting Peace: Why Social Media Divides Us and What We Can Do About It (IVP Books, 2021). Fun facts: He lives in Auburn, Washington, and has a ministry called www.fairlyspiritual.org which includes a podcast. His publisher offers a helpful overview of his book at ivpress.com/posting-peace. To learn more about engaging peacefully on social media, join Douglas Bursch and EFC hosts Ilana Reimer and Bill Fledderus on April 27 at 7 p.m. Eastern (4 Pacific, 5 Mountain, 6 Central, 8 Atlantic). We’ll take questions live from the audience. We’ll end with optional small group discussions of Posting Peace, so if you’re a book reader why not order a copy now from your local bookstore or library to get ready?
